Located on a neglected portion of the Stapleton Waterfront of Staten Island, Convergence intersects the unlikely programs of a waste energy plant, a recycling plant and aquatic center while reconnecting the neighborhood with the water.

Taking the sculptural approach of pebble shaped forms. the project acts as a visual beacon that draws people from within island and all the way from downtown Manhattan and south Brooklyn. With the project sitting directly along the waterfront, an exterior boardwalk is carved in between the pebbles like water carving a rock. Individually each pebble represents a different function and their intersections create moments of transparency where unlikely programs look into each other.

As an Integrated Studio, all aspects of design development was completed in parallel with the design of Structural, MEP and Facade systems.
